House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) is abruptly pulling out of a scheduled Friday lecture on income equality at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Business School, according to the school.

[…] According to Cantor’s office, the Congressman pulled out after discovering that the speech would be open to the public and seeing reports that the university was allowing protestors to gather on the campus itself.

I cannot substantiate the rumor that instead of giving the speech, Cantor held a meeting with Herrera Beutler and Rep. Dave Reichert (R-WA-8) to draft the bylaws of the G.O.P. Coward’s Club.

Gee, I can’t think of a more sympathetic forum than the Univ. of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Management. That’s Donald Trump’s alma mater, as he proudly trumpets any time he’s given a chance.

“…the university was allowing protestors to gather on the campus itself.”

Oh, the horror! Protests on campus!!!! Why isn’t the administration protecting us poor politicians by doing our dirty work for us, clearing out people attempting to petition our government for their grievences and otherwise violate the Constitution!

He’s a coward for not wanting to participate in a speech where a mob would shout him down? It sounds like a smart move to me. It would have just been a waste of time if he couldn’t be heard. So why go?

# 5: Of course, you aren’t willing to address the hypocracy of the Republicans and their wholly-owned subsidiary, the Tea Party movement, which first initiated the “shout-down” at constituent meetings during August 2010.

Apparantly what’s good for the goose isn’t good for the gander. But that’s been Republican philosophy all along. “I’ve got mine, bar the gates and make sure nobody else gets in!”

Why would Cantor put himself in front of the FleaBaggers “I Hate Everything” Protesters?

Didn’t Barack ObamAA+ mention Americans must respect each other’s views and we should begin “talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds”? Leftists don’t respect anyone’s views!

Can any of you leftist pinheads tell me when was the last time any liberal speaker at any university had their speech interrupted by out of control conservatives? Somehow Puddy remembers the attack on David Horowitz by University of Texas professor Dana Cloud during his speech. Campus police had to attend to keep the rowdies down.

So of course Eric bailed. Remember the pie in the face attempt on Ann Coulter?

Leftists, just can’t be peaceful! It’s not in their playbook!

“If he has in fact cancelled it says he’s willing to meet with the elites but not willing to meet with the 99%,” he said. “As soon as he hears there’s going to be everyday folks outside…he decides to cancel.”

With all respect Puddy (for real this time) you’ve been around here long enough to know that someone going by the “Troll” handle regularly posts pretty disgusting anti-semitic remarks. I personally think it’s an act but that kind of shit is out there in the darker corners of humanity’s interwebs so maybe it’s real.

In the ebb and flow of several years of HA, calling out Troll for coming to the defense of a Jew is actually pretty reasonable and I think kind of funny. Maybe you didn’t get the allusion?

Tell your character that the act of pointing out that someone is Jewish is not inherently racist.

Oh dear perfesser Darryl, it’s always the HA moronic leftists who elevates someone’s heritage as their method of attack against their political opponent. If it was Michael or Lib Scientist they would get a pass. Butt Mr ASSphalt himself was the one who ran all over this blog calling anyone who disagreed with Barack ObamAA+ a “racist”. It’s the content of the character and the character rujax has no content. He’s an empty suit bigot with a vacuum for a brain.

And this is the response from the HA all arschloch arschloch

townhall screamers

Let’s see if this moron remembered these same Tea Party Patriots screamed at Republicans in disagreement. Wait a minute… he’ll need to search the vaulted crazed databaze to “refresh his momory”. You left a few entries on this blog with a LMAO in it. Go search moron! Google found two really fast.

So if you noticed the HA arschloch could not deliver an example!

Wow, I’m just reading this post, and the comment thread, this morning, 10/22. A number of things need responding to.

First, P-Dud is calling me out repeatedly here, when I was never actually posting – and then calls me a coward when I didn’t respond. How low can you get? You’re calling me out, when I was never ‘here’ before? What a fucking coward. As I said on the 10/21 Open Thread this morning, P-dud is

impotent, frightened, vapid.

Next, P-dud’s bullshit about Rujax! being racist, is, of course, bullshit. He sees the use of the word ‘jew’ and immediately begins frothing at the mouth about liberal racists. As has been pointed out, but bears repeating, noting that an infamous racist is coming to the defense of a Jew is merely trying to make the racist uncomfortable – a laudable activity. As Toure pointed out on Maher last night, using the term ‘nigger’ to make racists look bad is a positive, and acceptable, use of the term. The point is, making racists look like the fuckwads they are is to be applauded.

You know, it again comes to, is puddy really so thick, and concrete thinking, and obtuse as he appears to be? Or is it an act, meant to undermine dishonestly, to derail conversation? It always seems to boil down to, stupid or evil?

Oh, and I believe that while Cantor is elected by the people of Virginia, he’s paid by the US Treasury, and therefore all of us.

When the pres initiated a fraud investigation against Credit Suisse for covering up all the rich americans loads of money held in Swiss banks the lobbyists were sent out right away, Eric took $5000.00 from them and I have yet to hear of any prosecutions.

Eric Cantor is the Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives. His salary is paid by ALL Americans. The policies the Majority Leader advocates affect ALL Americans. Eric Cantor OWES the citizens of the United States accountability for his actions. Shit he ducks out of Town Halls in nis own district. Cantor is only accountable to his corporate overlords.

The troll is rightly reviled for his blatant, groundless anti-semitism. I have neverevereverever seen a comment by puddypussy condemning troll for his bigotry. So puddypussy is a racist…and a hypocrite…and a twenty-four carat idiot.
